I am using Thunderbird 1.0.2 and it is set to send plain text
to domain redhat.com, should never send html? It usually asks
me to ok sending html. However I have recently been afflicted
with a severe vision problem and may have hit the wrong button.
That's the reason for the scanner, I need to enlarge printed
pages to read text!

I found the following data in /var/log/dmesg, still can't get xsane
to recognize the scanner, no device?

I tried creating /dev/sg0 and making an entry in fstab but to no avail 
there ...
